Room for Love

Gratitude is a lovely quality to cultivate. When you wake in the morning, practice gratitude even before you get out of bed. Naming 3 things you are grateful for will set a positive tone to your day. “I am grateful for the morning light, I am grateful for my warm bed, I am grateful for […]

Opening to Your Dreams

We all have dreams. Dreams for a satisfying relationship, dreams for a closer family, dreams to express our creativity through art, writing or music. Dreams inspire us to make positive changes in our lives. Dreams call us to be our very best selves, our true selves. And yet dreams can also feel like a noose […]

What Will You Do?

Last weekend was Thanksgiving here in Canada. I shared a lovely dinner with friends on Saturday night, gathered with family (including my 3 year old grandson!) for a delicious meal on Sunday and paddled on a quiet lake for a picnic lunch on Monday. At one point while we were sitting on an island letting […]

What Truly Matters

Earlier this week we lost our puppy for 25 minutes. We were about to celebrate her 6-month birthday with presents wrapped in newspaper and a cake made from puppy treats complete with a candle. I’d let her out into our fenced back yard for a few minutes. My partner, Scott and I were beside ourselves […]

Notice the Beauty

This week I’m resting in the embrace of the last few days of summer. I’m trying to slow myself right down because I want to notice every detail. There is such beauty around us! “It was so beautiful it took my breath away”. I’m sure you’ve said this before when it seemed that something was […]

Summer Cicadas

Today I heard the song of the cicadas for the first time and I had a “This is Summer!” moment. I love the whirring sound of those insects. Check out my “This is Summer!” video again here to refresh your memory. I’ve had so many mini celebrations of summer moments in the past few weeks. […]

I hosted a community ceremony in a beautiful park by the river yesterday. 20 of us came together in a ritual to notice the crossroad we are standing at in our personal lives and honour stepping into a new place in this community we call home. This photo is of me celebrating after the celebration! […]

The Prayer of Poetry

It’s often the simplest of gestures that help my clients find a new perspective. Choosing to stop and smell a flower, to linger in the beauty of the shadow cast by the sun or looking a moment longer into your loved one’s eyes can make all the difference. The practices we create together to support […]

Greet the Day

Sometimes when I first wake up in the morning I feel almost dreary. Whether it’s a feeling lingering from a dream or the fact that my thoughts turn first to my “To Do” list, I am anything but cheerful. This week I’ve been arising early each morning and going to a 6:30am yoga class. I’ve […]

Awakened by Spring

Last weekend I was awakened by spring. I was surprised by some crocus that had pushed themselves through the decaying earth. I communed with the bark of a tree. I sat by the stream on big mossy root. When I realized that I’d made it through the long winter, I enjoyed basking in the feeling […]
